Chapter 463: In the Studio

Some movies are not just movies. George Lucas' Star Wars series has created a modern myth since the day it came out. It is also a milestone in the history of film and one of the most important cultural events of the twentieth century. , this series of films that is a collection of American culture's ability to expand and penetrate, has its influence spread to the whole world.

Even when the first part was born, many media called it the most magnificent 120 minutes since Moses opened the Red Sea.

This series also indirectly spawned the birth of the world's most powerful special effects company, Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, which not only made George Lucas a billionaire, but also made him a partner with Martin Scorsese and Francis. ? Coppola and Steven ? Spielberg tied for the top four directors of the 1980s.

It is difficult to determine exactly when the main content of Star Wars is set. In the words of Lucas in the media, this is a film that has been in the making for more than 20 years, and it can be traced back to his original sketch. In the legendary 70s and 80s of the Skywalker family, a cosmic war that took place in a distant galaxy has been raging since then.

Anyone who watched last year's Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace will understand that the entire Star Wars Episode is actually a history of the growth and fall of Anakin Skywalker.

You don't have to think too much about acting, and you don't have to work hard to dig out the inner feelings of the character. For Ryan, such a role is far easier than Spearman and Maximus.

As for the tall and straight figure and vigorous skills, it is not a problem for him who has just filmed two epic masterpieces.

What's more, the fights in the movie are more romantic and ethereal.

In order to save money, all the shots of the crew in the studio will be completed at the Fox Studios in the suburbs of Sydney. Although George Lucas raised the production cost of 130 million US dollars for the film, Ryan can It's not Haicheng Christensen from the previous life, it's just the huge salary and box office share. It gave George? Lucas enormous pressure.

I just hope your appeal is still strong.

Sitting in the director's chair, George Lucas looked at Ryan who was fiddling with the camera, If all your supporters can turn into Star Wars fans. I think The Attack of the Clones will definitely surpass the previous one.

George, don't be too greedy. Ryan, dressed as a Jedi Knight, has neat short hair and a slightly green face, showing what he should look like at this age, Think about it, among the directors in Hollywood, there are some How many are as rich as you?

Ryan, I think you forgot, you are richer than me and Stephen combined.

Hey,

george. I think you're missing a point, I'm an actor, not a director.

Ryan snapped Sony's newest camcorder and asked, Is this an all-digital camcorder from Sony?

Well~ it can achieve 24-frame high-definition progressive scan. George? Lucas is obviously very satisfied with the new model of camera equipment, the new camera will help us to speed up the shooting progress. The attack of the clones will become the first All films shot, produced and released fully digitally.”

Although the other party is not as crazy and obsessed with technology as Cameron, George Lucas has Industrial Light and Magic, and he can be called the leader of new film technology.

“The transition of film into the digital realm is a natural transition, like from silent film to sound film, black and white to color film. The digital camera is just one more tool we use to create film.”

Speaking of the ever-changing film technology, Ryan suddenly thought of the crew notification he received some time ago, and asked, George. Is this the relationship you want to shoot the last two parts separately?

Technology is constantly improving. The third film will be released in four to five years at the earliest. Who knows what kind of technology will come out at that time?

Originally, in view of the shooting mode of The Matrix, George? Lucas wanted to complete the shooting of the last two parts at one time, but the special effects technology developed faster and faster. Obviously made him change his mind.

According to the settings in the script, more than 95% of the plot of this movie is generated by special effects. Although there will be outdoor scenes, most of the scenes will be completed under the blue screen of Fox Studios.

Even Master Yoda himself. It will also be completely synthesized by computer technology for the first time.

Leaving the camera, Ryan opened the script and became familiar with his characters and lines. From time to time, his eyes would look to the position of the women's dressing room.

He came to the crew yesterday to report. I don't know if it was because of missing time or because the other party was avoiding him on purpose. The two never met each other.

But there are a few rival scenes today, so there's no way they haven't appeared yet, right?

It didn't take long before Amidala... ah, no, the Long Island girl who was supposed to be Congressman Padmé caught his eyelids, and Natalie looked mature with makeup on compared to Natalie's actual age. a lot.

Gorgeous costumes are definitely one of the effects pursued by this space opera. Needless to say, Queen Amidala's dress in the first part, even if she becomes a Padmé Congressman after leaving office, Natalie's costumes can still only be used. It is described as cumbersome, and compared to the first, this one has almost completely turned into a vase.

However, the female characters in general commercial productions are basically vases.

There is also the costume of the Jedi Knight. The robe looks really powerful and has the style of a master, but after putting it on, you must pay attention when you act, otherwise you have to be careful when you walk, not to mention fighting.

Hi, Nat.

After Ryan walked over, he said in a businesslike manner, It's still a while before filming starts, I think we should have a look at the scene beforehand.

Natalie didn't show any expression or said anything. She maintained this attitude for half a minute before she nodded slowly.

It's just work...

She told herself in her heart that this is the professional ethics an actor should have.

Trying to stabilize her emotions, Natalie wanted to face the guy who whispered his lines with the normal heart when facing other actors, but her reaction betrayed her true heart, no matter what Ryan said. What is the dialogue, she will always be one beat slower.

Nate, you're...not in your state today.

Hearing the question from the opposite side, Natalie quietly clenched her fist and said calmly, This is my job, and I will adjust it as soon as possible.

I hope you don't let me accompany me all afternoon because of your reasons. This kind of flat voice is so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

Familiar, because before adulthood, two people used this tone of sarcasm and ridicule each other for a lot of time, just like hitting the other side can make him the most happy, it seems that since he was eight years old, he has been quarreling with himself constantly, and the field of disputes has been from From art to science, from current affairs to gossip, that is the most beautiful memory.

Unfamiliar, both of them have learned to be patient when they grow up, especially him, even if they have different views from their own, they will not quarrel anymore, and they will no longer use this tone after the age of sixteen...

Almost subconsciously, Natalie replied, Someone seems to have said that my talent in acting is much worse than mine.

But this man has been nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars four times in a row. Ryan's mouth put on an imperceptible smile, and he is recognized as the best actor in the younger generation.

It's a pity that everyone doesn't know his true face! Natalie seemed to wake up, You are a devil!

After speaking, she closed the script and walked towards the camera.

Why did you listen to his advice in the first place? Why take on the role of Padmé? Amidala?

Natalie quietly asked the cameraman for some knowledge about shooting, as if nothing happened just now, as if her heart was as calm as her appearance, as if she had no doubts about her choice.

Only she herself knows, only this strong and proud girl knows why she chose Padmé? Amidala as the vase role.

This has nothing to do with anyone's persuasion, just because this is the Star Wars series that has a huge impact in the United States and even the world! Just because Padmé Amidala is the heroine of this trilogy! Just because this role can make her name spread to every corner of the world!

Like choosing Portman as her surname, she will use all available conditions to make the most of herself.

I am always making the best choice!

Thinking like this, Natalie found Ryan out of the corner of her eye, and her brown eyes were full of complexity, no wonder we had such a tacit understanding, no wonder we could always find the resonance frequency, because in essence, he and I Absolutely the same person.

Looking back, Natalie listened to the cameraman's explanation of some shots, and her mind was always rolling. Although she said decisive words and did decisive things, ten years of love and invisible benefits can be thrown away wherever she wants. Can it be thrown away?

Forget it, finish your role as soon as possible, go back to Harvard, your eyes won't be able to see, maybe your heart will be pure.

Maybe it really calmed down. Ryan was surprised to find that during the official shooting, after a few ngs, Natalie quickly got rid of the inexplicable state of the opposite scenes, and several shots were completed smoothly.

Of course, this also has something to do with George Lucas's not being particularly strict.

After the Long Island girls left the studio, Ryan stayed behind to learn Jedi martial arts from stunt director Nick Girard.

While starring in two action blockbusters in a row, Ryan didn't have to attend the training camp before shooting, but the fighting in Star Wars is completely different from the gladiators and Lord of the Rings, with chrome colored rubber sticks, it looks more fancy or flashy.

When he finished training and left, Ryan refused Ewan McGregor's invitation and joined the bustling Sydney city by car by George.

Does she go every day?

This is not North America, George replied. At the age of eighteen, it complies with the law. ()
